Take the Training: Sexual Violence Prevention Employee Modules

The Centre provides an online Sexual Violence Education and Prevention (SVEP) training for staff, faculty and librarians at the University. Completion is strongly encouraged and constitutes an important step toward creating a campus environment in which all members of the University community can study, work, and live free from sexual violence.

The training is designed to help members of the U of T community:

  • Recognize sexual violence, including sexual harassment, as it is defined in the University’s Policy on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment;
  • Identify ways in which sexual violence affects members of the University community;
  • Understand the difference between disclosing and reporting an incident of sexual violence as defined in the policy;
  • Respond supportively to a disclosure of sexual violence; and
  • Refer someone to the services of the University’s tri-campus Sexual Violence Prevention & Support Centre.
